The final value of Japan's Manufacturing PMI for December was revised up to 49.6.

According to Jibun Bank and S&P Global, the seasonally adjusted final value of Japan's Manufacturing PMI for December rose to 49.6, higher than the initial value of 49.5 and the final value of 49 in November. This marks the sixth consecutive month that the Manufacturing PMI has been below the 50 threshold separating expansion from contraction. In December, factory activity in Japan contracted at the slowest pace in three months, as the decline in production and new Orders showed signs of easing; however, rising raw material and labor costs led to input prices increasing at the fastest rate since August.
